Make sure that you are putting your recyclables open inside of the recycle bin for easy removal and not inside of a plastic bag. If you are not using a recycle bin provided by the City of Concord, be sure to have your recycle bin labeled with a recycle sticker that you can pick up at the General Services Department (311 North State Street). Also be sure to only be recycling approved items.

Free recycle bins are available at General Services (311 North State Street) at the front entrance. Or you can use your own bin, but you must label it with a mandatory recycling sticker that you can also pick up at the General Services Department.

No. Since April 1, 2013, the city's curbside recycle program became a single stream system. This means residents no longer need to separate paper products from glass, tin, aluminum, and plastic. All recyclable materials can be mixed in the same container. No need to sort - single stream

All leaves and grass clippings can be put into barrels (no bags) that are labeled "Yard Waste" or "Leaves" for collection, or they can be put into large biodegradable yard waste bags. Do not place leaves and grass into trash bags.
